Creative Financial Staffing

Accounting & Payroll Specialist

Target Compensation: $65,000–$75,000 annually

Location: Vancouver, WA

Why This Opportunity Stands Out
  • Payroll is the primary focus of the role, providing ownership of a critical function that impacts the entire organization.
  • Gain hands-on exposure to accounts payable, accounts receivable, general ledger, and financial reporting.
  • Work in a collaborative environment with strong visibility across multiple departments.
  • Opportunity for either direct hire or temp-to-perm placement based on candidate preference and fit.
  • Stable organization offering a diverse workload and long-term career growth potential.
Key Responsibilities for the Accounting & Payroll Specialist
  • Process semi-monthly payroll, audit timesheets, resolve discrepancies, and coordinate with payroll vendors.
  • Prepare payroll tax filings, W-2s, 1099s, and required state and federal reporting.
  • Support accounts payable and accounts receivable functions, including invoice processing and reconciliations.
  • Record journal entries, maintain general ledger accuracy, and assist with month-end reporting.
  • Prepare financial reports and support internal departments with accounting-related inquiries.
Qualifications for the Accounting & Payroll Specialist
  • Experience processing payroll and supporting general accounting functions.
  • Knowledge of accounts payable, accounts receivable, payroll taxes, and general ledger activities.
  • Proficiency with Microsoft Excel and accounting/payroll software systems.
  • Strong attention to detail with the ability to identify and resolve discrepancies accurately.
